Question abouts Araucana and Roosters

[pwand]

HI, I have some baby Araucana or Americana, I have never had these types of chickens before, I have seen on Roosters, they have the lacy type of tail feathers. Do females in this breed have these types of feathers? Thanks Emily

How old are they?

This one is 5 weeks 3days old.

Looks like a Pullet to me.

Where did you get them from?

 

[pwand]

I got them at a chicken swap from a local farmer.

Is that a pure-bred Auraucana? Very pretty bird!

They don't really have Lacy tail feathers...

Wait till around 8 weeks to take pic's for determining gender - 5 weeks is a little early.

Araucana don't have the beard - I "think" I'm correct and that chick would be a mix with something... What color are the chicks legs? Or perhaps an Ameracana (I can NEVER get the spelling right)
